What's going on with the DB server?
goffrie:
That's not BitTorrent, then. You probably got that from somewhere else.
Numsgil:
I've used the official bittorrent client before. There were all sorts of problems, but nothing restarting the computer didn't fix (it apparently had a memory leak that eventually had it using gigs of RAM, etc. etc.)
Go to start->run and type in msconfig. Go to the last tab and uncheck everything you see. Restart your computer, and go back to start->run and type in msconfig again. If any of the items are checked again, you probably have some malware. If you don't, and you're not getting any weird access anymore, then you probably had something doing something weird, but you've managed to turn it off. Go back down the list of things you turned off in msconfig and see if you can find anything you don't recognize and post them here.
If after turning off all the startup things you're still getting weird accesses, then you're either not dealing with any malware at all, or you're dealing with one that isn't too stupid (most are pretty stupid).
Testlund:
I did what you suggests. I didn't see anything on the autostart or service tab I didn't recognise. Still I disabled most of them, but the ones I need for sound, graphic, OP and security software. My computer still tries access through those ports with strange letters; nbname(137)), Ms-ds(445)), nbsess(139)) etc. Whatever it is it's hooked deep in the system. It says it's UDP incoming but it comes from my IP address.
Numsgil:
Your IP address on the local network (ie: 192.168.x.x) or on the internet (ie: something else)?
Testlund:
It's my borrowed Ip, for my Internet adaptor. I have dynamic IP. It's not from the DHCP or DNS servers.
The IP you typed above is not from me. I don't recognise it.
